Does this happen to anyone else?

Ok, I'm 22 and I've been flatting since I was 18. I don't live with my parents, I pay my rent and I work and study. I am perfectly free with my marijuana use as my friends and flatmates have all at one point or another smoked marijuana regularly. Some of them still do, some don't, it's all good.

My parents even know that I smoke it occasionally. I have a feeling that they'd be disapproving of it if they thought it would make a blind bit of difference. But they recognise that I'm able to make my own decisions about my life and know that just cos they disapprove, doesn't mean I'll stop.

But me smoking pot isn't exactly something I parade around my parents, you know? They don't know exactly how much I smoke (they think it's limited to parties - they don't know I buy ounces and smoke almost every day). So I keep it on the down low around my parents.

SO HOW COME, EVERY DAMN TIME MY MOTHER CALLS ME, IT'S ALWAYS WHEN I'M HIGH??
Every. Damn. Time.
I only have a cell phone (our flat doesn't have a landline) so no matter WHERE I am, I get the call. I can't hang up on my mum, she'd only get MORE paranoid (jewish mother, feel the curse of the guilt). So I have to answer, in the middle of parties, in the middle of sessions and try and talk normally to her.

WHY can't she call when I'm SOBER? (Though this may say more about how often I'm high than how often she calls when I'm high...)

 

Well, you are the enabler of the guilt You just have to let the voice mail pick it up. Start slow and break her into it slowly. Believe me I know what you mean.

 

My parents called a few times a day all weekend while they were away (weekend of 4/20) as you can imagine it was quite a task talking to them.

 

YES!!! I still live with my parents, but my mom works all the time and my dad doesn`t really care. My sister from NY calls me everytime I`m high. She fucking knows it too. She is 13 yrs older than me and won`t hesitate to tell my mom. I know how u feel!!! It`s like ENOUGH already...

 

Ha...my granny seems to always call when I'm high and home alone. And I can't ignore the call, because this is my dear old granny! She's a kick though...so she always says some weird trippy things that make answering the phone worth it.

She has no idea I smoke pot though, and would probably never even suspect me of being high, so that in and of itself makes me feel secure talking to her over the phone.

Frequently my mom calls after I get high in the afternoon, but the phone is next to the mirror, so if I just look in the mirror when I talk I'm usually fine. Try it...the mirror works wonders.

 

LMAO. My parents call when I am high ALL THE TIME. I smoke everyday, that have no idea. Wierd eh?

 

.........doesn't really bother me, i'll talk on the phone high or face to face, and my parents don't approve either, though admittedly i'm a bit too old to give a flying shit whether they do or not, lol.

 

My parents don't approve, or know for that matter either. So i'll talk to them anytime when i'm high. Because they won't know, because they would never suspect it.

 

my best friend just got stonedc for the first time recently
before that he was completly anti anything illegal not just pot

and EVERY single time i was high hed call and see if i wanted to hang out...
my exuses started getting dumber and dumber

 

my mom knows i smoke and doesn't really care. As long as I'm not in trouble and keep up with school she's cool. She always seems to walk in AS im rolling a J or breaking up my weed or something.
I'll look up say, 'oh. hi.'
She'll say 'oh. um. can you do this for me?'
and ill say 'yeah in just a minute' and its over.
